Hi guys, what's up? Just woke up, so this is the morning leanness. This is actually what you should do when you're cutting down, is have a kind of spot or just look in the same mirror every time to check your progress, because we all know the lighting game, okay? You can look in some lighting, some mirrors, you look unbelievable. Then you look at some lighting, some mirrors, and you look like you're just back from a 14-day bender in Magaluf, okay? Use the same mirror. This same spot to check your progress. So this is weird, it's like just where I do it in my house, and there's a mirror there as well. So that is the morning level of leanness. Got stuff back here, that's where I hold a lot of fat, so that's, that's got to go. Around my chest, all down here, that's going to come off as well. So this— really happy with this physique now, but stage lean, different story. I'm like mumbling my words, that's when I know it's time to like drink drink some coffee and some water, you know. I'm gonna cook everyone breakfast because I'm just the best host ever. We're gonna go to King's Gym today, um, which I like to go to, kind of make a day out of it. It's a little bit further away, and then we're gonna do something nice this evening. So anyways, let's get into the vlog. It's episode 4. 4? Yeah, episode 4. Um, so yeah, let's do it. All right, meal number 1 today. I'm gonna skip breakfast, but I'm hitting legs and that never goes down too well. We are gonna just do some egg whites, some heavy. People always wonder how I make the perfect omelets, okay? Perfect egg white omelets. A little bit of coconut oil, a good pan. You don't have to blow the budget on a pan. It's like $30, okay? You won't regret it, okay? Egg whites go in. So we're gonna do a good few, 300 grams. And then you turn on the grill, you put it under the grill. I'll show you that in a minute. And just slides off, okay? People, it's like the protein oats. It's like people can't wrap their head around the simplest thing. Just follow these steps, watch these videos, you'll be laughing, you'll be sorted. So right, we're gonna let this cook for like not long and this thing's gonna be really good. Spicy food helps with hunger because it adds more taste to it. Don't quote me on that, it's just personal opinion. Spice King here. And you put it right under, put it on full power, give it about 5 minutes or so. There you go. Perfect egg white omelette. I already know it's gonna be perf. Look at that. Like, come on. That's so satisfying. So then another good thing you can do is like put some low-fat cheese in there or something like that and then just flip it over like so. So anyways, I'm gonna have that with some low-sugar ketchup. Then we're gonna go hit the gym. So see you there. All right, the fellas are having a quick pre-workout snack. I'm gonna go easy. Ben is having, um, he's actually having a box of peanut butter with a side of pancakes. Bulk mode. Um, so yeah, vegan All-American pancakes, Kcal Kitchen, which is a Scottish company. Just can't go for that. Rob 30. Ryan, what are you having? Rob 30, bitches. Beef steak. Beef. Nice. Bolognese. Is that the way to say it? That's it. Yeah, bolognese. Ryan couldn't say bolognese. But yes! We're in my favorite gym, King's Gym. Music's loud, atmosphere is good. Came at kind of a quiet time as well, so big leg session, bit of abs in there too. Let's go! Game like Spanish. If you're not great, then you average. Yeah, this is your chance, take advantage. Become who you always imagine. If you got a dream, better catch it. All it take is time, I promise you gonna get it. Started from the bottom, then you stack it to the ceiling. That's it, come on. 2 more. Easy, come on. That was one of the best workouts I've had on this prep for sure. And now we're just chilling up here, having a little BCAA drink from Ghost Protein Bar. Gym is insane. It's like there's so many different leg machines that it's like you just keep going because you're like, I want to do 3 sets on this machine. Yeah, so it's great. So now we're gonna go home and chill for a little bit, and then I want to kind of like go to somewhere nice with the lads because it's their last night here tonight and get a little bit dressed up. But we're still, still on that sober life, still on the straight and narrow. I know about you guys, but we'll see. But, um, so yeah, we'll see you at home. Sober life for now. All right, so doing a little post-workout stroll and of course going to my happy place, which is Whole Foods. This time though, we're not gonna spend £1,000. We're just gonna go in there, be casual, get a nice little salad or something. Maybe this baller will. Maybe this baller. Yeah, yeah, man gotta eat. Yeah, yeah. But yeah, so we'll go in now and we'll show you guys what we get. All right, people, so update, we got salmon teriyaki. It's kind of hard to see down there, but loads of veggies as well. A kombucha drink as well, and also a cold-pressed organic booster. This is orange, ginger, grapefruit, lemon, cayenne pepper. And one thing on this prep or any prep, even on a cut, you really want to be looking after your health levels, okay? So lots of veggies, nutrient-dense foods, because prep is an unhealthy thing. You know, you're taking it to the extremes, so you really want to kind of look after yourself and make sure you're ticking as much boxes as you can. Okay, so we're gonna eat this now and go home, chill for a little bit, and then maybe do something tonight. But Whole Foods, you know I'm addicted, so salmon teriyaki in. Oh God. All right, so we are on our way to STK London. It's my first time going here. Yeah, I've been to one in different countries like Dubai, Miami. First time in London, and I don't know if this is a good idea or a bad idea. It's bad. I can usually get out of hand when there's two of us. Yeah, yeah, in the setting where there's music, some people, girls. Yeah, yeah, you gotta go for it. Yeah, yeah. So I was just like, I was like holding it in. So yeah, like basically, like I said earlier, just like Pros and cons. It's like, the pro is, you know, I can track this. It's just a plain steak, broccoli. I've ordered off the menu before. The con is I can get sucked into it. Okay, okay, that's good to hear. Thanks, man, I appreciate that. Save this for later. Training discipline for now. Nice. And then, uh, yeah, surround yourself with the right people. That's it. My new coach. All right, so today has been a day of estimating, which is not ideal, but like, I got guests over, so gotta keep that in mind. But seriously, I had egg whites, salad for lunch, pretty much no carbs. So I'm gonna allow myself a little bit of bread, gonna enjoy. Hopefully won't ruin my prep. This is like famous bread, it's so good. Get a little close-up action on it there. You guys have first, I'm only taking a small bit. Alright people, so this is the final meal of the day. Just a ton of veggies, a ton of volume. Obviously I'm not having the Parmesan fries, the lads are just torturing me eating that in front of me. And then just a super lean fillet steak. That's the final meal of the day. Gonna finish up the vlog here. Let's just have a nice little bite of that steak. Oh, look at that, lean AF! Let's get a little bit of broccoli on that as well. Okay, all right, feeling good, satisfied. I definitely stayed in a deficit today, like, and when you know, and I'm already like excited to wake up tomorrow and hit the gym. Is when you're cutting down, it's like every day you see progress, you know, and every day you're making progress. It's a lot more like instant gratification, whereas when you're bulking, you know, it's complete opposite. It's a long-term thing. So yeah, I'm excited, I'm motivated. I'll see you tomorrow.
